Mexican Mexican Lasagne


I have made this recipe two times and it is one of those old faithful recipes:



What you will need:
2 lbs. ground beef
12 flour tortillas
1 large container of salsa (spice preference depends on you)
1 bag of Mexican cheese
1 pack of taco bell beef spice

(Optional Items)
Sour cream
tomatoes (chopped)
Lettuce
Taco Sauce

When I am cooking Mexican I like to have a little Latino music playing in the back ground, just my preference.

The process:
- Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a skillet, brown the beef.
- When beef is browned, drain, and add in taco bell beef mix.
- Spray cooking oil into deep dish lasagna baking pan.
- Put 3 tortillas overlapping to cover bottom of baking pan
- Layer taco meat, cheese, then salsa.
- Cover that with 3 more tortillas overlapping.
- Layer taco meat, cheese, then salsa.
- Cover that with 4 tortillas overlapping.
- Coat top layer with more salsa and use the last of your cheese.
- Cover pan with tin foil.
- Bake covered on 375 degrees for 40 minutes.
- Let sit for 10 minutes.
- Slice into squares like lasagna.
- Serve with chopped lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, and taco sauce.

This is a great meal when entertaining friends, it is quick and simple, and quite frankly, IT IS DELICIOUS!

I love making this dish because it is not traditional Mexican food the way you would think but it incorporates lots of Mexican Flavors.

Salute
